Arpora is a village close to the North Goa beach belt, in India's tourism-destination state. Very famous for its night market, "The Saturday Night Market". Open during the tourist season, it is a colorful vast market consisting of people from around the state selling and showcasing their goods. Be it the musical mouth harps or mouthwatering food, you can find it all here.
The Saturday Night Market
This sprawling market is located in Arpora and transpires every Saturday evening from 6pm until late night. Here, one may find everything from archetypical Indian stalls selling spices, teas, Kashmiri carpets and silver jewellery to international designers who convene from all over the word to sell their unique creations, many of which may be found only here. This market also houses food stalls featuring cuisines from across the globe, and the centre stage that hosts live concerts featuring Rock to Indian Classical. Further up the hill, is "The Boutique House Bar" that serves delightful cocktails (try the fresh strawberry Daiquiri) while DJs play late into the night.
St. Sebastian's Chapel
Located in the heart of the town, opposite the sprawling Pinto's Mansion, the chapel of the village is named after the patron saint of the village. The villagers are seen celebrating their annual feast with much pomp on January 20 every year.
